Mr.. VIM. H. Evans, of FrostDurg,
we learn is preparing to move his

for sometime just below Davis, to a
point on Beauer Creek, just above

We think that Davis is destined in
the near future to become quite q

location and surroundings of the
place seem peculiarly adapted tC

fitting of the butterflies made the
scene still more cheering. Thus the
fourth day we drove II miles to Mr..

miles of home, which was soon made

The Temper ance Question Of Davis, from
q Standpoint OF Honor,

Wenotice that q correspondent from

temperance hght Of this place and
Fucker county for the Republicans.
We desire 10 answer him, and hope
you will bear with our manner, for
it seems AZ though We may he an

the correspondent will inform himsel
on the temperance question, he will
tind that the ".S0id South" is taking
such steps ~ will put to shame the

ed Temperance principles. Take the
action of the Legislatures recently and
we find that while such States ~
Alabama and Tennessee, Democratic
Ia the core, passed Prohibition
Amendment, by almost n unanimous
vote. the Republican stronghold of
Pennsylvania could scarcely get it
passed at all. This shows the Tenn
perance principles of II puhIicanisrn.
In the next piacr, il Is Implied in
the article that only Republicans did
anything to secure "no license" for
Davis in the recent contest. We are
sorry that the young man wonld evnn
h,piy anything directly opposite to the
truth HIS ir-i,l"I reminds u. of II

at the last election there was consid-

In speaking of F. s. he does not
confne himself to the person, but
tries to imuiicate the M. E. G. s.,
which we love dearly become it is
our religious home. For F. s. we can
say that although we represented diff
ferent interests at the county Court,
yet he treated me as a gentleman
aud whenever illusions were made
to my political principles he was
ready to resent them, thus proving
that he would not stoop to n,isrep-
resentdtion. as some Others have since
done. We would rather have a man
take his position, even though 1t may
he in opposition to ours, than to say
things Without foundation. The one
we know how to approach, the other
